It was a day like any other
when you stepped into my life
you said hi
I said hi
Days passed by
you still said hi and I still said hi
but something tugged at my heart
telling me "you fool go talk to her"
So I did
and slowly
piece by piece
you showed me your life
You started with the good things
you kept your dirty laundry away from my prying eyes
it was tucked neatly under your bed
safe from the public’s judgement
But
I wanted to know more
No,
I wasn’t satisfied
with just
knowing what your favorite ____ was
No,
I didn’t like it
when you held things back
afraid of being judged
So I asked you more questions
and spent more time with you
and got to know you better
and felt the need to talk to you every single day
And little did I know
I had already
tripped
for you
